[quote=@prettydrops] ...The human barely held her with any force. She screeched loudly and planted herself in front of Jack. This was the human she wanted to challenge! "I mean just ignore her. You're prolly too tired to battle..." Indy said. [/quote] [quote=@TheForgottenArc] "Wait, Indy... I know this might sound like a bad idea but, Those two are new trainers like us, At least I think, cause they only have one Pokemon apiece." Dan took a breath, About to suggest something he knew Indy wouldn't like. "So...Since Hawka wants to battle, how about we grant her wish and battle 'em. You can take the guy, and I'll take the girl. What do you say? I'm sure they'd have no problem with it. Right you two?" Dan asked, Directing the last question towards the Twins. [/quote] The fiery little bird had bravely stepped in their path, specifically in front of Jack. [i]What was with this Pokemon? Why did it want to battle against him? And who said anything about them only having one Pokemon each?[/i] Jack was just about to deny their battle request when Jill spoke up, [b]"Wait."[/b] Her simple word stopped him, and he turned his attention to her to listen. A grin started to creep across her face. [b]"This might be exactly what we need! We've been training non stop. I think it's time for a battle! Plus, this could be our first chance to show those bozos outside what we're really about!"[/b] Jack thought about it. [i]'It would be nice to establish their own image, instead of riding the curtails of their parents.'[/i] With a nonchalant shoulder shrug he said, [b]"Okay. We accept your challenge. Let's go outside shall we?"[/b] Together the four trainers walked outside. Most of the people from the crowd moments ago were still there; they immediately rushed the twins, as well as Daniel and Indigo who were right beside them. With a charming smile and a loud booming voice, he quieted them. [b]"It looks like we've had an interesting turn of events!"[/b] With and outstretched hand, he motioned toward Daniel and Indigo. [b]"These two trainers have challenged us to battle!"[/b] The crowd started buzzing with excitement. Jill picked up where he left off. [b]"And we have accepted!"[/b] The crowd's excitement continued to build. With an aggressive but graceful move she whipped herself around to face the challengers. [b]"How about we use two Pokemon each? You do have two Pokemon don't you?"[/b] Jill's face was painted with true happiness; this was her chance to prove her strength! Jack on the other hand, turned his back to the crowd, and in doing so, lost some of his showman's smile. A calculating air of confidence replaced it.
